Chapter 20: Black Lotus (Vote + Flower)

  This storm brought by the Olfactory Potion will involve nearly half of the forces in Gallos City.

  From eleven magical families to six underground forces, almost everyone is desperately collecting funds, golden real estate, high-level magic beast crystals, rare magical materials, and rare magical equipment. These things that were rarely seen in the past seem to have flooded the market overnight, and their prices are plummeting day by day, as if they were diving from a high platform.

  The entire city of Gallos has gone mad, and all forces qualified to compete are desperately squeezing towards the Emerald Tower.

  The emerald green tower was naturally the center of this storm.

  After Grian dropped the message, he hid in the tower and pretended to be ill.

  "Visit the patient? Ah... I'm really sorry, but Guildmaster Greeran is seriously ill this time, and it's a highly contagious disease. If you get infected too, we'll be worried sick. Why don't you go back for now and come again in a few days?"

  Sometimes the environment is really scary, in just two days even Kevin, such an honest person, was poisoned to the point where he would lie with his mouth open, and when talking about infectious diseases, his expression would be anxious and painful, as if Gruen wasn't sick but infected with a plague.

  Everyone knows what's going on, but no one can do anything about that old fatty Grian. Now it's like a fish on the chopping board, waiting for others to take advantage of him at the auction. Then came the people from the ten major magical families, and then they left. The people from the six underground forces also came, and then they left again...

  While Grian, who was seriously ill, was hiding in the basement with a smile on his face, counting the Orfana medicine over and over again, listening to the noise coming from the living room, Grian's chubby face smiled even more.

  He can't remember the last time the Garlos Magic Association was so lively. For the past twenty years, although the Magic Association has been the number one force in Garlos City, anyone with discerning eyes knows that this is only because of the existence of the Supreme Council. If it loses the support of the Supreme Council, this number one force will collapse instantly.

  Before the emergence of the Alchemist, who else had really taken the Magic Guild seriously? Including Old Odin, who was on good terms with himself, if he wasn't sitting in the position of the guild leader, would this old fellow who controlled all the assassins in Galras City have given the Magic Guild any face?

  Even the little rabbit from Merlin's house dared to come to his door and make demands.

  "Pfft! Kick Ferre out of the guild... I'm surprised he even thought of it."

  "Ah...... I'm really too brilliant!" Thinking of his original decision, Grian couldn't help but indulge in secret delight. It was precisely because of this decision that the Gallos Magic Guild had become what it is today. Thirty bottles of Olfactory potions had made the magic guild the focus of attention for the entire city of Gallos. If those guys who were fighting with each other knew that there were over a hundred more bottles stored in this underground chamber, what kind of expression would they have on their faces...

  As the initiator of this pharmaceutical storm, Ge Lan knew more inside information than anyone else and understood Lin's value better than anyone else. In his view, Ofa Pharmaceuticals was just a beginning, far from revealing Lin's true worth. In fact, even Ge Lan himself wondered what surprises this almost miraculous pharmacist would bring to the Magic Association...

  At a time when everyone was going crazy for those thirty bottles of Ofa medicine, Lin Li hid alone in the medicine room, sitting there for an entire morning.

  The uproar caused by the Ao Fa medicine, Lin Li had already known a thing or two about it. If it were at another time, he might have still been slightly intoxicated, but now he didn't have that thought at all.

  Because he found something interesting in the pharmacy.

  Those were a few black flower petals, probably because of the exhaustion from the past two days. This morning, Lin Li woke up early and dazedly entered the medicine room again. When he came to his senses and wanted to leave, he suddenly found these few flower petals in a pile of medicinal residue.

  The black petals were mixed in with the dregs of medicine, and if Lin Li didn't have good eyesight, it's really uncertain whether she could have distinguished them.

  At first, Lin Li didn't take it to heart. After all, collecting herbs was a troublesome thing. Except for someone like him who had master-level knowledge of herbs, ordinary people would inevitably pick up some weeds when collecting herbs. In the past few days, he had picked out countless weeds while preparing the medicine.

  Pick up those petals, it's completely subconscious, just like when you reach out to a beautiful woman's chest, you'll naturally pinch it, this really isn't being a rascal, it's just a very natural reaction...

  In short, Lin Li picked up a piece in his hand anyway.

  Then he found out that something was wrong.

  These petals look so delicate, they're just like the legendary black lotus flower!

  This is just too fake, right?

  Lin Li never thought that in a pile of Ning Shen flower medicine dregs, he would actually find a few petals of the black lotus flower.

  Although the effect of the elixir made from Ning Shen Hua is not bad, this herb actually grows in a very relaxed environment. To put it bluntly, it can grow anywhere, as long as there are mountains and water, you will definitely find the shadow of Ning Shen Hua.

  The legendary black lotus, on the other hand, is at the opposite extreme. The environment in which it grows is so harsh that it's almost unbelievable. It can only grow where there are dense magical elements and temperatures that can melt steel. Most importantly, it requires a stream of lava from the earth's core to nourish it, but this lava cannot directly touch the black lotus. Instead, it must flow slowly about one meter away from the flower...

  The above conditions are absolutely indispensable. If there is a slight deviation, even if the black lotus can barely grow out, it will wither away in an extremely short period of time.

  Under this nearly abnormal growth condition, the appearance of the black lotus flower has long been considered an impossible thing. Lin Li had once offered a high price to buy the black lotus flower in order to make a breakthrough in pharmacology, but even with a reward of tens of millions of gold coins, not a single bubble emerged.

  After the reward was posted for several months, Lin Li gradually lost hope about the black lotus flower that only existed in legend. He never thought that after a few more months, he would mysteriously arrive in another world and unexpectedly discover the trail of the black lotus flower.

  "Is this really happening?" Lin Li looked at the flower petals in his hand, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.

  In the tranquil Ning flower, a few black lotus petals were found. If this luck is spread out, it will surely scare people into getting nervous breakdowns...

  Lin Li hastily opened the Endless Storm Ring, and from inside, he took out two bottles of medicine, one red and one blue. According to a ratio of three to one, he carefully poured them into a crucible. As soon as the two medicines mixed, a sour smell immediately filled the air in the medicine room.
